Effective Lagrangians and low energy photon-photon scattering
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use the behavior of the photon-photon scattering for photon energies ω less than the electron mass, me, to examine the implications of treating the Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian as an effective field theory. Specifically, we determine the ω/me behavior of the scattering amplitude predicted by including one-loop corrections to the Euler-Heisenberg effective Lagrangian together with the counterterms required by renomalizability. This behavior is compared with the energy dependence obtained by expanding the exact QED photon-photon scattering amplitude. If the introduction of counterterms in the effective field theory is restricted to those determined by renormalizability, the ω/me dependences of the two expansions differ. 11.10.Ge,14.70.Bh,21.30.Fe Typeset using REVTEX 1

متن کاملTwo-photon physics
It is reviewed how Compton scattering sum rules relate low-energy nucleon structure quantities to the nucleon excitation spectrum. In particular, the GDH sum rule and recently proposed extensions of it will be discussed. These extensions are sometimes more calculationally robust, which may be an advantage when estimating the chiral extrapolations of lattice QCD results, such as for anomalous ma...

We investigate the behavior of the photon-photon scattering near the threshold ! = m e , by comparing the exact result with the approximation obtained using the Euler-Heisenberg eeective Lagrangian supplemented with higher-order derivative corrections. We also examine the ! 2 =m 2 e behavior predicted by including one-loop corrections to the Euler-Heisenberg eeective Lagrangian together with th...
متن کاملInvestigations of parameters affecting the photon energy spectra of an 18 MV Varian 2100C/D linear accelerator
Radiotherapy using linear accelerators is known as an effective modality for cancer treatment. The photons energy of treatment beams significantly affect the dose distribution. Therefore, it is important to accurately evaluate the photon energy spectra. In this study, MCNPX Monte Carlo code (version 2.6.0) was used to simulate an 18 MV photon beam of a Varian 2100C/D linear accelerator. By matc...

Monte Carlo simulation is widely used in calculations involing transport of photons through different materials of different shapes. The method consists of randomly generating a finite set of photon histories over which the quantities of interest are averaged. In photon transport calculations, sampling the photon scattering angle from the Klein-Nishina probability distribution is of special i...
